Gerade erst haben die finnischen Dark Progressive Gothic Metaller THE ETERNAL um die beiden Amorphis Mitglieder Niclas Etelävuori (Bass) und Jan Rechberger (Drums) ihre „Celestial“ EP unter die Leute gebracht, da nimmt auch schon die neue Studioscheibe der Band Formen an. Das heute veröffentlichte animierte Lyricvideo zur brandneuen Single `Lament For The Hollow´ ist der erste Vorbote vom „Obscured Horizons“ Album, das am 18. September erscheinen soll.
Sänger/Gitarrist Mark Kelson enthüllt:
“Lament for the Hollow really come from a place of confronting that moment when everything you thought was solid – your identity, your direction – starts to fracture. I was exploring the idea of stripping away illusion, of recognising the voices and influences around you that aren’t real or honest, and having the strength to cut them off. Time is the ultimate truth-teller, eventually everything false gets washed away, whether you’re ready for it or not. The recurring imagery of waves and erasure ties into that cleansing force, but it’s not gentle—it’s destructive, almost violent. ‘Lament For The Hollow’ is about facing fear, self-doubt, and betrayal, and what happens when people allow themselves to be consumed by emptiness or led astray. It’s both a warning and a kind of catharsis. In a way ‘Lament For The Hollow’ is an anthem for the disenchanted, disillusioned and disenfranchised.”

Lyrics:
When your essence is shattered
And your resolve unravelled
Let the scars bleed into light
Turn away from false perception
Sever ties with their deception
The passage of time will reveal all
Cast away those who defy you
A wave crashing relentlessly
Until all is erased…
Through illusions of treacherous fate
In self-doubt, a fleeting chance
Breaking the boundless silence
Dismantle false truths told
Incinerate the words of the spineless
The passage of time will reveal all
Cast away those who defy you
A wave crashing relentlessly
Until all is erased…
Frail and fallen, lament for the hollow
Collide with the fear that divides you
The void will swallow them whole
Led astray, by the vultures that feed
The passage of time will reveal all
Cast away those who defy you
A wave crashing relentlessly
Until all is erased…
